Product Information
Full details
The Nike Tech Helios Top is designed for adult men who prioritize performance and comfort during outdoor activities in warm climates. Its primary benefit is the combination of moisture-wicking Dri-FIT technology and integrated UV protection, making it an ideal choice for sunny excursions. However, users should note that the garment's UV protection covers only the areas directly shielded by the fabric and it should not be considered a replacement for traditional personal protective equipment or sunscreen.

FAQs
Does this shirt provide full sun protection?
It provides UVA and UVB protection, but only for the areas of the body covered by the garment. Always apply sunscreen to exposed skin.
Is the fit true to size?
The top is intentionally designed with an oversized fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may want to consider sizing down.
Can I wear this for swimming?
While the material is quick-drying, it is engineered as a lifestyle and performance top rather than swimwear.
How do I care for the metal grommets?
The grommets are durable, but avoid high-heat ironing directly over them to prevent damage to the surrounding fabric.
Is this considered personal protective equipment?
No, this garment is not certified or intended for use as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Troubleshooting
Moisture is not wicking as expected
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during the wash cycle, as it clogs the moisture-wicking pores of the synthetic fibers.
Fabric feels warm or heavy
The oversized fit relies on airflow; ensure the garment is not layered under tight-fitting outer shells that would trap heat and moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the Dri-FIT technology and the UV protective properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can leave a residue on the performance fibers.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric's shape and performance features. If machine drying, use a low heat setting.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, but avoid ironing directly over the embroidered logo or the metal grommets.
- Storage: Hang the garment to prevent wrinkles and maintain the shape of the articulated panels.
